Review: Excellent Vivosun alternative! Fast growth & perfect tent compatibility - I recently added the 2025 version of the MARS HYDRO FC-E3000 (300 Watt) to our setup, and the results have been impressive. While we are long-time fans of other popular brands, this light has proven to be a fantastic, slightly more affordable alternative that doesn’t sacrifice quality. The "Win": Performance & Setup Instant Results: Our plants responded almost immediately. We saw noticeable growth spurts within the first few days of switching to this full-spectrum bar light. Tent Compatibility: It fits and works perfectly inside our Vivosun grow tent. The integration was seamless, making it a great option if you’re looking to mix and match high-quality gear. Build & Packaging: It arrived very well packaged—no bent bars or damaged LEDs. The dimming feature is smooth and easy to adjust for different growth stages. Value for Money Rating: 10/10 At $179.99, you are getting a 300W light with a high PPE (2.8 umol/J) for significantly less than some other "name brands." It feels like a professional-grade light without the professional-grade price tag. The Verdict If you want the power of a bar-style LED grow light but want to save a bit of money compared to Vivosun or other high-end models, this is it. It’s powerful, cool-running, and highly effective. We will definitely consider more Mars Hydro gear for future expansions.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between FC and FC-E?**
A: The key difference is the diode brand: the FC series uses Samsung diodes, while the FC-E series uses BridgeLux diodes. Both are trusted brands—Samsung is a global leader, and BridgeLux is a well-established U.S. manufacturer.

**Q: How to install them? Is the installation difficult?**
A: Installation is fast and easy with a foldable design that reduces setup time. FC-E1500/FC-E3000feature an integrated all-in-one design, while FC-E4800/FC-E6500/FC-E8000/FC-E1000W use a single-fold design for quick unfolding and installation.

**Q: How to achieve intelligent control? What functions does it provide?**
A: Intelligent control is available via optional accessories, supporting remote control, scheduling, and sunrise/sunset modes. iConnectu controller offers basic control, iControl supports RJ12 devices, and iHub Pro enables multi-device management.

**Q: Can it be installed together with ADlite? And how do I choose the appropriate ADlite model?**
A: Yes, ADlite can be installed together. Due to the compact design of FC-E1500 and FC-E3000, ADlite can only be mounted on the outer side. For selection: use ADlite RB30 (short) for fixtures under 500W, and ADlite RB55 (long) for fixtures over 500W.

**Q: What should I do if the light malfunctions?**
A: Designed for 50,000 hours of peak performance, Mars Hydro stays by your side. With local repair centers and 24-hour support, we ensure your growth never skips a beat. Experience peace of mind through our dedicated care.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent grow light, misleading advertising.
*by K***. on December 18, 2022*

I posted a very long review that didn't get approved, so I'm going to make it short and sweet. This light draws 800w +/- 5% but the driver consumes 70w. So, 730w of LED power is what you're actually putting out. That being said, I have never had happier plants. I went from having an extremely hot tent with a 1,200w HPS to having a 5x5x6.5 tent that never cracks 85°, even with the exhaust fan turned to the minimum. The LED puts out less actual ePPF than my HPS but it's much wider spectrum and MUCH more evenly spread out. My entire tent at 12" doesn't get below 823ePPFD at the minimum. The average at 18" is 1,064ePPFD according to my quantum sensor, and 1,321 ePPFD average at 12". However I like to keep it at 18" so that the light spread it more even, and I don't want to burn my plants as I am not using supplemental CO2. Anyways, the driver thing was explained to me in an email from Mars. I got this grow light on sale for $560, so there's no way I could ever get a better deal on a light like this. My only gripe is that I bought it RIGHT before they put out the FC-E1000w which I would have rather purchased. Oh well, this one is still good for my purposes! If I decide to supplement CO2, I'll lower the light. My power use immediately dropped very significantly just from having this light for 2 weeks out of the power billing period. I'm glad, because power rates in my area are about to go from $0.1205/kWh to $0.24175/kWh at the start of January. I can always lower the light and dim it to cut energy consumption if necessary. I give the light a 5/5 in all categories, but like all companies; MarsHydro overstates the performance of their product. At 12" I only get a total of 1,933 ePPF and they advertise 2,100 PPF Which it seems is never the case in any reviews. As long as you're cool with that, this light grows plants like no fixture I have ever used. The 8 100w blurples from Marshydro that I was using 2016-2019 couldn't get anywhere near this performance or efficiency. Also, the efficiency is much lower than claimed by Marshydro. I get 2.416 EPPF/J. 1933/800=2.416. If we go by the output wattage, I get 2.65ePPF/J, which is less than the efficiency of 2.8 PPD/J that they advertise. All in all, I don't regret my purchase, I will save around $2,000 in the next year on my power bill because of it, and my flowers have never grown so densely and happily. Great job Marshydro, just be more realistic in your ads. Update 1/15/2023: This light has saved me $100 on my power bill compared to a 1200W HPS. My usage statement on November 13 was 1145kWh consumed, December was 13th statement was 1209kWh, This month's statement shows 687kWh consumed. The light will pay for itself in 4 more months. Then we're just saving money.
